My
theory on creating a backup image . Again this is a theory, not tested!
Ingredients:
- Live Linux on USB with Functioning Touch Panel and virtual Keyboard, and room for additional partition
I realize that is a biggie!
If we have the above we can perform the following:

Volkswagner, you're were kind of on the right track... but there's no need to use partitioning. Now that there's a way to run NimbleX off a USB stick, just make a 4gb usb stick and then use the DD command to backup the entire internal drive card onto your 4GB stick in a single image file ... it's only 512mb, so there's plenty of room on the USB stick.
Just use a USB stick that has good read/writes. I'm using a 4GB Kingston DataTravler and I get very good read/write speeds on it.
That way, in the event of a worse-case-scenario, you can boot off the 4gb USB stick and then use DD to restore your entire WebDT back to normal.
Because these are RAW images, they are perfect for a complete recovery solution.

Couple times that I booted to nimblex my resolution was off. If you go "fishing" below view its next to the menu button. If you right click on the desktop you can "run a command". Try typing "konsole" there. I think thats the bundled terminal with KDE3

Another method is just bring up the KDE file browser, and tap the "F4" key on the XVKBD program ... that will launch a console window in whatever folder you are browsing.
